Angel Skills

Angel Skills (天使術,Tenshijutsu?, "Angelic Magic") are artes used by angels in Tales of Symphonia and its sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. They are Light-related attacks that invoke religious symbolism, from which the angels themselves are derived. All angel artes that are spells have a unique casting appearance that differentiate them from normal spells. They involve the caster being surrounded by feathers rather than the typical magic circle. The feather motif carries on in the artes themselves, as they make an appearance in some form during the arte.

In Tales of Symphonia: The Animation, Colette uses an unnamed Angel Skill different from her known moveset to distract Magnius and his men after breaking the Seal of Wind. It involves singing a song to weaken her foes, invoking a combination between Holy Song's name and Retribution's effect.
